How can the NWSL adapt to the climate crisis?

We are in the thick of the ‘Summer of Soccer’ – from the UEFA Women’s Euros, to CAF's Women’s African Cup of Nations, to FIFA's Men’s Club World Cup, and with the NWSL set to return on August 2nd – it is all happening. And, as I’m sure you’re experiencing, the summers are fraught with extreme heat, hurricanes, storms and droughts…and yet, the soccer still goes on.

On this week's Full Time, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan to dive a little bit deeper into how the NWSL and global soccer intends to keep up with climate change – how can leagues, teams and governing bodies adapt to climate? Who does the responsibility fall on? And, how will soccer look in the future? To help do that, the podcast enlisted the help of climate sports researcher, and author of the book ‘Warming Up: How Climate is Changing Sport’, Dr, Madeleine Orr.
